Mvp.Xml vs using Xelements

Question

We had been using XmlDocument with Mvp.xml, specifically XPathCache for querying really heavy xmls still now.

Should we move to using XElements for querying xmls instead of XmlDocument/XPathCache??
Will there be a improvement?? The last MVP.XML development was done in 2007 it seems from their site.

Hi Maverikd,

You can read the comparison between XPath and Linq-to-Xml (XElements) in here.

And you can use feature in Linq-to-Xml class to load very big XML file: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.linq.xstreamingelement.aspx#Y1392
